Women in Maths
Our aim is to showcase African women mathematicians as well as feature international speakers of interest. They provide a forum for women mathematicians across Africa to meet regularly, to be inspired, and to meet mathematicians from across the world. Professor Nalini Joshi, born in Myanmar, was the first woman to become a professor of mathematics at the University of Sydney, Australia. She develops mathematical methods to study solutions of integrable systems, which arise as universal models in physics. Professor Joshi was elected Vice-President of the International Mathematical Union in 2018. She is also a founder of Science in Australia Gender Equity, a program working to retain women in STEM.
